How to use these lessons
Start at the home row even if you already type quickly. The point of the first lessons is not speed but keeping your fingers anchored ona s d f andj k l, returning to those keys after every reach.
Accuracy comes before speed. A lesson typed at 30 WPM with no errors builds better habits than one typed at 60 WPM with constant corrections, because every mistyped key reinforces the wrong movement.
